[Kolab-devel] Kolab Format specs/Kontact: Question about custom folder types

Hi!

Once again I'm confused by the Kolab format specification
(http://kolab.org/doc/kolabformat-2.0rc5-html/c154.html#AEN157)

The format specification says that 

"All folders MUST be annotated with an entry /vendor/kolab/folder-type
containing the attribute value.shared set to: <type>[.<subtype>]"

"The <type> can be: mail, event, journal, task, note, or contact."

Two paragraphs further the text continues with

"For other client-specific non standardized types of folders, these
MUST be prefixed with "k-" for KMail, "h-" for Horde, "o-" for Outlook
with the Toltec Connector and "ok-" for Outlook with the KONSEC
Konnektor. E.g. "kolab.o-voicemail"."

Here "kolab" seems to an allowed <type> entry with a <subtype> entry
that is more or less free but has to be prefixed with a client id.

Am I allowed to do such a thing and actually declare client-specific
non standardized types of folders?
